Shevchenko sisters not doing usual training for next figjhts

11/19/2018

The Shevchenko sisters usually mimic each other's opponent's style, but not now with Antonina fighting Ji Yeon Kim at the TUF 28 Finale and Valentina fighting at UFC 238, but Antonina says not this time: “She can’t imitate my opponent because she has to be herself for her fight with Joanna Jedrzejczyk. And I have to be myself for my fight in Las Vegas. There is always pressure of being the first time world champion, or defending it, or fighting in different organizations. Now it’s my first fight in the UFC, in the big leagues of MMA, and there is a kind of pressure and nervousness. But I can control it. I understand what I have to do: train hard and perform well. That’s all that’s important.” H/T MMAjunkie

Champ champ Daniel Cormier turns 40 on March 20, 2019 and plans to retire but UFC president Dana White hopes he fights on: “I don’t know [if Cormier’s last fight will be next year]. We don’t know that either yet. I think Cormier’s got a couple left in him. I hope so. That was what I would like. I would like to see Jones and Cormier fight at heavyweight but right now, Cormier’s team wants him to retire right now. They want him to retire right now. I hope we can get three more fights out of him.” H/T MMA Fighting • Watch

Blaydes ahead of Ngannou fight at UFC Fight Night 141 on 11/25: He's lost his swagger

11/19/2018

"I thought he looked tentative [vs. Derrick Lewis at UFC 226]. He looked like he didn't believe in his striking. If you don't believe in it, you're not going to pull the trigger. If I can tell he's not going to pull the trigger, I'm going to get a lot more aggressive. Obviously, in the beginning, I'm going to be cautious but if I can tell that he doesn't want to strike, I'm going to get aggressive. I think that's his biggest issue. He seems to have lost his swagger. He doesn't have it no more. That's to my benefit." H/T Yahoo Sports
